Tavern at GrayBarns
Tavern at GrayBarns, the restaurant on the property, continues the perfect blend of old and new. The rustic-beamed dining room welcomes both Inn guests and locals with a dramatic stone fireplace and menu featuring elegant comfort food crafted by Executive Chef Ben Freemole. Dishes like Housemade Pasta with kale, veal and chanterelles or the Rotisserie Chicken with new potatoes and market greens rely on seasonal ingredients from local purveyors as well as the Tavern’s own kitchen garden. A bar and terrace overlook the Silvermine River and Guthrie Pond, while a library room provides a quiet spot for unwinding with an after-dinner cocktail. A 30 seat private dining room is also available for events.
The Barn
With its soaring roof and spacious open-plan interior, The Barn serves as an ideal destination for community events and private functions, including weddings and pop-up dining experiences. As part of the restoration process, the barn’s original frame was disassembled in upstate New York and then raised on-site. The Barn can accommodate up to 60 people.

The scene
What is now GrayBarns on the Silvermine River, began as a small textile factory at the turn of the 19th century. Serving as a popular village meeting place, an artist outpost, and even a speakeasy during the 1920’s, GrayBarns thrived throughout the 1950s and 60s as a classic country Inn. During this time it attracted VIPS from New York City on weekends, as well as celebrities such as Arthur Miller, Lauren Bacall, Spencer Tracy, Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher, who even spent their honeymoon at the inn and tavern. The inn remained under the management of the Whitman family who ran it until 2009. Now, under the ownership of the Glazer Group, GrayBarns has been renovated back to its traditional architectural roots, with its ample porches and tall columns, original usage and charm intact.
